Justin Gehtland

Justin Gehtland's blog has moved with his switch to BlogX.  Justin is one of the authors of one of my all time favorite VB6 books "Effective Visual Basic : How to Improve Your VB/COM+ Applications."  Part of the "just buy all of Ted Pattison's COM books" recommendation I always am always willing to hand out to the VB6 students trying to wrap their heads around COM.  If I ever get a chance to write a book, I hope it is as informative, interesting and easy to read as that book.  Sure book's like Tim Ewald's Transactional COM+ book are full of good info, but that thing was a beast to read and I like to think I'm an above average developer.

  • Thanks for the kind comments about the book. It was a lot of fun to write. I am especially fond of my "XML is like Esperanto" lead-in, although most of my friends hated it.

  • To be honest, that's one of the little saying I've ripped off when I run across those developers who've never seen XML. That and "XML is the tofu of the internet" from David Platt's Introducing Microsoft .NET.





    Of course, I've also had to explain what Esperanto is to most of these people too.
